The inherent difficulties in handling and producing graphene have been a major barrier in developing such devices. Conventional microfabrication methods are mostly based on chemical etching processes, which often involve tedious masking and aligning steps. [...]

Real-time monitoring of liquid’s viscosity has significant impacts on many areas such as medicine, biology and petrochemistry. However, most existing sensors have complicated fabrication and testing processes and are not truly compatible with fluidic systems [...]

Unlike traditional microchannel-based microfluidics, free-surface microfluidics features no channel, ease to clean, simple design fabrication and operation, as well as external access to the samples. It has been proven that free-surface droplets can be actuated [...]

CNTs have gained significant attention due to their potential as an alternative nanomaterial to be utilized in micro/nano-scale electronics. To continuously improve the performance of CNT-based electronic devices, the CNTs and their manipulation methods must [...]

The idea of suspended carbon micro/nanostructures has been researched by a few research groups ], however, controlled fabrication of suspended carbon micro/nano structures in desired positions and with the desired shape and dimension is still [...]
